 Our Resource Centre, which includes the collections of both Alzheimer Ontario and Alzheimer Canada, is one of the largest dementia specific collections in Ontario. It provides lending services not only to residents of Toronto, but to individuals across Ontario who are unable to locate the required materials locally.
Open to the public, everyone is welcome to use our facilities. Visitors can consult reference works, view videos and dvds, photocopy journal articles, borrow materials, obtain free information resources in over 30 languages, or just have a quiet time to read away from the demands of everyday life in our bright and cheerful Resource Centre.
Our full-time librarian can provide assistance in determining which materials are best suited to your needs and can also conduct literature searches for articles on topics of concern to you.
